If the object is cheap then why not get a Hyundai Pony with a Ninja in in?
That sounds about right to run this truck except I have tons of room and more vac and lots of resale. Cabovers are cool to drive no noise and no stink and a big billboard.

Thanks for the imput Steamer.
Having personally owned 2 Mack trucks I am very aware of what they burn. The load and gearing on a small cab and chassis has no bearing whatsoever on what Macks tandem gravel trucks use hauling full or empty. Also did you know that the turning radius of the cab and chassis is better than your van? Price of a cab and chassis van with a cleanco 47 with electric reels tanks and post heat is only $74,000.

if you feel that way...but round town driving not matter what design will burn fuel....  My father had a small fleet of mack trucks doing gravel hauling...in city hauling was always harder on the truck and burnt more fuel that a good long haul

Steamer, there is a big difference between a diesel running in a van and a cab and chassis unit due to engine size and transmission.

Running in a driveway the Isuzu will burn half of what a standard diesel van does.   Driving down the road in a cab and chassis van with the low roof will get 25 - 35% better fuel economy than a standard diesel van.

I know the benefits of a diesel van...great for long runs...when I use to service Bradford Keswick Newmarket....I never really burnt much diesel...but with a gas truck it's murder....

Diesel isn't very good in town either...I burn just as much as a long drive...
 
So I believe a vortex would burn a hell of alot in a small area like oakville burlington waterdown hamilton...
 
I know that there is only like 100 k in oakville burlington...small area for a big truck
